What to do if a patient with intestinal obstruction has no bowel movement after venting

If a patient with intestinal obstruction has not had a bowel movement, it means that the intestinal obstruction has not been completely relieved and cured. In this case, the treatment of intestinal obstruction should be continued, including the continued use of antibiotics, nutritional support therapy, the continued use of growth inhibitors to inhibit the secretion of digestive juices, and continued gastrointestinal decompression to promote the complete relief of obstruction. Because the intestinal obstruction has been relieved, it can indicate partial recovery of intestinal function, so you can drink less water and give oral lubricating laxatives such as paraffin oil or lactulose. On this basis, enemas can also be given to stimulate intestinal peristalsis through enemas. Through these measures, if the patient has rapid defecation, it means that the intestinal obstruction is completely treated. If after these treatments, the patient still does not get complete relief, and if after repeated treatments are not completely treated, surgery may have to be considered.
